My industry practices price fixing, just read bicycleretailer.com to see the nonsense of MAP ( minimized advertised price ). It is used to take your hard earned money out of your pocket by removing competition illegally.

Do not support these shops! Buy your bike at Walmart and get a mobile mechanic or car mechanic to set it up. The bike industry will not change if people continue to feed this "bad" behavior. Make changes in your buying habits, to force them to change.
